Dalton Tiner Sr. DT/G

Q: What have you done this summer to prepare for the upcoming season?

A: This summer we hit the weight room a lot. We had the options of going to the weight room either at 6:30 in the morning or 7 in the evening, so we could always go around our schedule. We would go to the field on Tuesday evenings to go over formations, drills and footwork. We also ran routes.

Q: Person who inspires you the most and why?

A: My granny. She loves to come and watch the games. She’s always pushing me to be my best. She wants me to go out and show them what Chiefland is all about.

Q: Biggest rivalry game you are looking forward to this season?

A: Trenton. That’s always been a big rivalry for me coming up through high school. Two small towns. We’re always competing in every sport.

Q: What was the greatest sports moment that you had either participated in or seen happen?

A: Last year in the Dixie County game, I was playing nose guard. I broke through the line and caused a fumble and I also assisted on the tackle.

Q: Toughest school/stadium to play at as a member of the visiting team?

A: Cross City. It’s a rivalry. There’s always tension in the air when we go there. That and Williston. It’s the same way there.

Brian-Caiden Fehmerling Sr. TE/DE

Q: What football player did you pretend to be when you were younger?

A: I pretended to be Danny Wuerffel. I would go around throwing football to my dad like I was Wuerffel.

Q: Area team with the worst looking uniforms?

A: Trenton. Orange and black looks awful to me.

Q: If you could be teammates with any current or former football player in the history of the game, who would it be?

A: (Former Gator LB) Alex Anzalone because he is a good man on and off the field. There’s not many that work as hard as he does.

Q: Favorite offensive play to run?

A: Bootleg pass. For me, that’s a pretty targeted play for a tight end. It’s likely I get the ball on that.

Q: Least favorite part of practice?

A: Conditioning. How much and how long we do it. The only thing that makes me want to do it is because we will be a stronger team in the fourth quarter.

Brian Norris Jr. Sr. RB/DE

Q: Which college football team has the best chance to play for this year's national championship?

A: I feel like Alabama always has a chance. I feel they have the best program in the nation.

Q: What is your favorite social media?

A: Twitter. You can get whatever you want out of it. You can use it for sports, for information, or anything you want to use it for.

Q: Who is your favorite NFL team?

A: Dallas Cowboys. That’s the team I’ve always liked.

Q: Were you rooting for Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors or LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers to win their first NBA title?

A: Steph Curry, of course. Curry is the best player in the NBA.

Q: If you won a round-trip airline ticket for two to any place in the world, where would you go and with who?

A: China. I wouldn’t mind seeing a whole bunch of Chinese people at once. I would probably take coach Gore with me.

Lance Horne Sr. RG

Q: What was your favorite movie of the summer?

A: Step Brothers (with Will Ferrell).

Q: What makes Friday night so special?

A: The lights. The crowd cheering. The sound of hard hits. The band, definitely.

Q: Greatest game I ever saw?

A: Chiefland softball. Last year, in the state semifinals (in Vero Beach), the game went like 13 innings. They won the game and they went on to win the championship (Class 1A state title).

Q: Happiest day of my life was when ...?

A: Probably my first pick. I made it one-handed. It was against Bronson two years ago.

Q: What’s one of your first memories of playing the game of football?

A: I was real young. I was probably 10 or 11. It was like little league stuff. I think I played linebacker.

Tramaine Brown Sr. FS/DB/RB

Q: Favorite sport besides football

A: Track. I run track for the school.

Q: What got you into the game of football?

A: My parents. They wanted me to go try out at CAAA when I was six years old.

Q: If you could attend any sports event in the world what would it be and why?

A: A big soccer game. The crowd is crazy at professional soccer games.

Q: What kind of hobbies do you have away from football?

A: Fishing and hunting. I play basketball on the side too. I play shooting guard for the school (Chiefland basketball).

Q: What’s your favorite movie of all time?

A: I like the Divergent movies (trilogy). They’re kind of like The Hunger Games.
